Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Thanksgiving will be at my house again this year. In my family, this is probably the funniest holiday that we share. We only sit around the table on Turkey Day. Christmas we just have like a smorgasbord of food so people eat when they feel like it. But put all of us at the table together and we can't stop laughing!! Last year I had my brother-in-law announce at the end of the prayer, that I was pregnant for the second time. I was only 8 weeks and didn't want to tell them so early but I think they would have found out when I didn't have drinks! This year I am hoping that my brother-in-law gets off from work (he is a fireman) so he can tell everyone that my other sister is pregnant, in which she is not but it would be really funny just to joke around!

So all the list of people who are coming:
1- Mom
2- Brother Kenny
3- Sister Christine (who the joke will be about)
4- Her husband Dave
5- Their 20 month old son Kenny
6- Sister Colleen
7- her husband John (who may or may not come)
8- My husband's brother Johan
9- his son Ray
10- Me
11- Hubby
12- Marley
13- Vinni

I also have a lot of friends and other family members who will stop by for drinks and snacks. The following weekend the tree will be put up and Christmas is my favorite holiday of the year!

I hope everyone has a great and safe holiday season and will you all the love in the world! if you have any great Turkey Day stories please share!

Lazy Kinda Weekend

Okay I'll admit it...I did nothing this weekend! it was nice whattya expect? ON Friday me and the hubby relaxed and had some drinks at home. Saturday I had the kiddies all day by myself and it's getting better. Vinni is not as much as a crybaby as she was before. She is getting used to the outside world. Saturday night I went out to eat with my sister, Colleen and my Mother and we laughed a lot then came back to my house for after dinner drinks and my brother, Kenny came down to join in on the laughter and then Sunday we went shopping and then dinner at my other sister's house, Christine. So I did not get and Etsy-ing done. but I had a nice full week of laziness and laughter.

Wednesday I have off and I plan on catching up with the laundry and such. Maybe if time permits I will at least make some jewelry but it's hard since I am obsessed with reading LOL. I figure there is always time for something! If there is space I will fill it!

This coming weekend is supposed to be fun. Friday we are going to a museum where I used to work to hang out with some old friends and Saturday my hubby is taking off and I am going to get my color done (FINALLY!!!!) and after that who knows! I am hoping the weather stays like this just a while longer...

Hope everyone had a great weekend!!!!

Coming Soon...

So I made some crochet necklaces at home yesterday but I didn't get a chance to take pics and put them up yet. Hopefully this weekend I will get a chance to do so. I also got a bunch of new beads and other jewelry items that I can't wait to get into but as you guys already know time is not always on my side. Crocheting is not so hard because you really don't have to look at what you are doing.

I used to make everything under the sun: bookmarks, name meaning signs, invitations, candy wrappers, light switch plates, and so on but now with the kiddies ;-) and school I don't have much time for it. I do it when someone I know asks me to but I don't really tell many about it because I already have enough on my plate!

I will let you know if I out up anything this weekend on Etsy but in the meantime I am off to get my haircut!

Overworked!

There needs to be a point in my life where I get to stop for 30 seconds!! I am constantly running around. I like it and I hate it at the same time. I like to keep busy but it would also be nice just to stop and"smell the flowers". Ahhh well!

Anyways Vinni went to the doctors for her 4 month check up and she is 16.9 lbs! The last we checked Marley she was 19lbs and I don't think she gained much since then. She is going for her check-up on the `16th so we will see then. They wear the same size diapers! Marley is in 12m clothing still and Vinni is in 6m. I am trying to get hand-me-downs from all my friends! I hate to go out and buy new clothing since they grow so quickly but if they start to share clothing (which will be in no time) then I would have to go shopping because I only have enough clothes for one kid!


On another note. I have sold a few more things on Etsy and the feedback I get say that the pics don't do them justice! It's good and bad feedback. Of course it's good because they like it better than they expected and we all know that feeling! But it's also bad because it means I can probably sell more if my pics were more intriguing. I will get to it soon enough now that I got the new camera (the dual screen AKA Ashton Kutcher camera). I gotta update my shop soon! I will get on it once school is over -I think 5-6 weeks???

Hope all is well and I miss you guys!!!!
